Rumours and Stuff

Are you trying to argue the NRL won't allow Matto be medically retired for ongoing concussions?

I am (correctly) saying that the NRL rules wouldnt (or shouldnt) allow an exemption under the cap if he medically retires as a result of the Kaufusi tackle (or pre-existing concussion issues) because the injury would not have happened as a one off injury that occurred during the term of the existing Contract.

Packers retirement was due to a foot injury which was pre-existing his Tigers Contract and therefore he couldnt be medically retired. Foot injuries are notoriously tricky to heal due to poor circulation etc. When did Mitchell sign his new Contract?

Did the Tigers sign Packer before or after he coward punched some merkin and then laid into him further while he was defenceless on the ground?

So yes you are trying to argue the NRL won't allow him to medically retire from ongoing concussions..

Did you get dumber with your holiday?

Well.....its the rules, so there is that.

Tigers were stuck with Russell Packer for that reason and are currently arguing the toss with NRL about Olam. Under NRL rules, there is no way a player can retire with a pre-existing injury (pre-existing the last Contract signed) and not come under the cap.

Remember Andrew Davey?

Anyone who has had more than a few decent injuries knows that some you can make a full recovery from and some you can't. Making a full recovery can take years to achieve. Depending on the nature of the injury and the time it can take to determine its permanency or otherwise, throws an entirely debatable legal aspect into the machinations of an insurance payout. It's a minefield of bullshit and the best bullshit artist wins. That's how it works.

Sam's retirement, Walker contract stand-off opens door for Souths to chase Latrell

South Sydney will have close to $1 million in the salary cap for 2020 after the NRL approved the medical retirement of Sam Burgess, meaning the remaining four years of his contract will be excluded from the cap.

Maybe the one direct from NRL which states the guidelines for medical terminations?
Other then that I’ll tell Jake Friend to get back out there

Really setting themselves for a lawsuit with counsel from Tiger5150 QC

I think medically retiring Matto would be beneficial for both parties tbh.
Overall bar glimpses or some elite football his signing has been extremely dissapointing.

He was our best forward in 2022.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cant medically retire him if it was a pre-existing injury when he signed his last contract extension

That’s why this injury isn’t a concussion. It’s something else, apparently.

 

[Eelogical]

Let's be fair, Pou. For whatever reason, whether it's medically or mentally related Matto needs to look at where his life heads in the future. I personally don't think he's up to the rigors of NRL going forward. 2022 is quite some time ago in footy life. The $$$$ on offer can cloud one's judgement. I wish him well.

No you said it was impossible or along those lines. Before it loses the track though, medical termination would only be one way of removing his contract from cap, except of course it not being possible at all to do.

There’s one of the ways, unless we want to believe Cordners retirement was from couple of concussions and not from having no cartilage left in his body

That article is rubbish

there was and is literally no-one who could do a better job than BA.

nobody at all knew he was out of his depth in finals until now.

Well…. I mean have you watched our games this year?

 

[RustedonEel]

Gee, why don't we start a discussion about POs, COs and MOs
